Pieniny Dunajec Rafting
For the discerning tourist the Pieniny Mountains are synonymous with beauty, unspoiled scenery and repose. It is an ideal destination for anglers and kayakers alike, and a paradise for cyclists.
The raft trip down the Dunajec river through the Pieniny Gorge and along the Polish-Slovak border is one of the greatest tourist attractions in Poland. Rafting in special wooden boats is an extraordinary experience. These traditional boats are lead by experienced raftsmen called „flisacy” that guarantee to deliver their cargo safely.

The towering cliffs and the limestone rock formations of the gorge itself plus the picturesque mountain scenery, the surrounding national forest and the colourful river guides make for a wonderful day in a pristine and wild environment. For many centuries, the Dunajec valley served as an important trade route to Hungary and that is why Czorsztyn Castle (13th c.) and Niedzica Castle (14th c.) were built as strategic strongholds high on the cliffs on either side. Czorsztyn Castle was destroyed in a peasant uprising but it has been partially restored and its ruins make it into an adventurous visit. Niedzica Castle, in a delightful counterpoint, is in perfect condition. In fact, today, it is actually a working hotel in addition to housing a fine museum.
Our trip begins at Niedzica Castle, then continues to the raft wharf in Sromowce Nizne and ends 15-km later in Szczawnica. It lasts two or three hours, depending on the water level of the river. While on the raft, you will enjoy excellent view of the high summits of Trzy Korony and Mt.Sokolica.

Rafting season lasts from 1 April till 31 October every day
